DEATH IN THE WATER.
Is THE MENENT WE DRINK
DEClMATING THE PEOPLE!
How q Universal Menace to Health
May Be Disarmsd.

Anew years ago the people in a certain
section in n of the leading cities of the
State were Frustrated with a malignant
disease, and upon investigation it wae
found that only those who used water
from q famous old we'll were the victims.
Professor S. A. baltimore, analyst Of
the New York State. Board of Health,
upon analyzing water from this we'll,
found it more deadly than the city
sewage!
The filling up of the old we'll stopped
the ravages of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation
for 4 large building, a stratum Of dark
colored earth running from near the
surface to hard pan. There it took an
other course toward a we'll near at hand.
The water from this we'll had for years
been tainted with the DRAWINGS from a
receiving vault, the percolations Of which
had discolored the earth!
Terrible!
A similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where well water
is used, and though the iltering which
the fluids receive in passing through the
earth may give them = clear appearance,
yet the poison and disease remains,
though the water may look never so
clear.
It is still worse with the farmer, for
the drainage from the barn-yard and the
slops from the kitchen eventually find
their way into the family we'll!
The same condition of things exists in
our large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed by little streams that carry off
the filth and drainage from houses. This
"water'' is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, for
water of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they o become foul.
Now in like name the human kid
neys act az a filter for the blood, and if
they are filled up with impurities and
become foul, like the filter, all the blood
in the system coursing through them be-
comes bad, for it is now a conceded fact

whereby the blood is purified. These
organs are filled with thousands of hair
like tubes which drain the impurities
from the blood. as the sewer pipes drain
impurities from our houses.
If q sewer pipe breaks under the house.
the sewage escapes into the earth and
fills the house with poisonous gas; 80 if
any of the thousand and one little hair
like sewer tubes Of the kidneys break
down, the entire body is affected by this
awful poison.
It is a scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, con-
s%equently, disease may exist in these
organs for a long time and not be sus-
pected by the individual. 1t is impossi-
BILE to filter or take the death out of the
blood when the least arrangement exists
in these organs, and if the blood is not
filtered then the uric acid, or kidney
removable only by Warmers safe
cure, accumulates in the system and at
tacks any organ, producing nine out of
ten ailments, just as sewer gas and bad
drainage produce 50 many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist
it there is any marked departure from
ordinary health without apparent known |
cause, and it should be understood by all
the greatest peril exists, and is in
tensified, if there is the least neglect to |
treat it promptly with that great specific,
Warmers safe cure, a remedy that has
received the highest recognition by
scientific men who have thoroughly in
the character of kidney de-
engagements.
They may not tell us that the cause Of
30 many diseases in this organ is the i'm
pure water or any other one thing, but
this poisonous water with its impurities
coursing constantly through these deli
cate organs undoubtedly does produce
much of the decay and disease which
eventually terminate in the fatal Bright's
for this disease, alike among the
drinking men, prohibitionists, the to-
bacco slave, the laborer, the merchant
and the tramp, works terrible devasta-
tion every year..
It is we'll known that the liver which
so easily thrown "out Of gear" as they
say, very readily disturbs the action of
the kidneys. That organ when deranged,
the fact by sal
.ow skin, constipated bowels, coated
and headaches, but the kidney
when diseased, struggles on for a long
line, and the fact OF it's disease can only
oe discovered by the aid OF the micros-
;ope or by the physician who is skillful
to trace the most indirect effects
n the system to the arrangement of
hese organs, as the prime cause i.
The public is learning much OH this |
and when it comes to under
'tand that the kidneys are the real health
regulators. as they are the real blood
of the system, they will escape
N infinite amount of unnecessary SUI
ering, and add length OF days andhappi.
less to their lot.
